Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Streamwood, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Streamwood provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
